lyrics

Why is that six hundred
thousands rappers
under seperate legions
claiming different names
all actually sound
exactly the same
maybe at a point
some of them had a point
and just forgot what it was
...
now it's just because

when I say I'm a rapper
it feels like a joke
so I won't feel bad if you
look back and laugh at it
i'm only straight faced
to date, cause i'm
waiting for the punch line
I heard you lost your ladle
...don't touch mine
you were just another
time wasting conversation
we ain't really friends
or maybe it's one sided
I guess that depends
that'd explain why I speak
to you through these speakers
and you don't say a thing back
think back
i'm all around like a paint splat
….
I live in thin air
I sleep in the internet
I live in the hard drives
of hard wired computers
and laptop users
headphone abusers
but microphone activists
tend to hate my raps pass
it off as subjective
mask of for the lesson
let's offer up a message
or at least a little something
that's easy to remember
return to sender
...
why'd you press play
why'd you click enter
please....
return to sender

turn around now
head back from where you came
please...
return to sender

please...
return to sender

it's something like that
it's something like this
it's something like receiving
that thing you always wanted
when you were a kid
it's something like growing up
and realizing how
hard it really is
it's something like calling out
mom....
realizing she's gone


it's something like being
sick by yourself
empty call log
you've got no help
call off your dogs
or this gone last a while
…it's the
third time passing
that last quarter mile
but we gone make it home
if it take all night now
what else we got to do?
But play night owl
yeah, I remember
late nights alone
playing ninja games
shadow boxing myself
and imagining things
my brother caught me
I was so embarrassed
not that I was jumping
and kicking up at nothing
I was embarrassed cause
I actually believed in
super heroes and magic

but I still believe
just now....
now I call it passion
….
all we ever wanted
was to get it all
(x2)
all we ever learn
is to settle when we fall

all we ever wanted
was to get it all
(x2)
all ever learn
is to settle for a piece
when it falls apart
